out pro-government messages. vodafone is that company, and it says egyptian authorities used emergency laws to transmit text messages leading up to and during the protests in if cairo. vodafone says it has no ability to change the content of the messages. calls the practice unacceptable though. it's interesting to note, a similar emergency messaging system is being created right here in the u.s. to be activated in the event of a local, state or national emergency. but that's what's happening in egypt. as we've been reporting to you and as you can see from the pictures for yourself, it's really a political earthquake underway in egypt. our next guest says there's some clarity in the chaos. a well-regarded journalist who covers the middle east has written 11 books on the middle east, islam and iran. we'd certainly like some clarity on this, and i have to start off with some of the breaking news we're getting as the egyptian vice president is speaking on state television. and one of the things he's saying right now

the federal government makes us spend this money and supreme court says that the federal government has the authority to make us spend this money. health, safety, wealth fair, morality and education. arizona has to spend that money on people lawfully in arizona and unlawfully in arizona. therefore, you, federal government, should enforce the border. you should enforce the federal laws so that illegals aren't here. if you don't do it, we'll do it for you. jenna: do they have a point? >> that in a nutshell is arizona's argument. they have a political point. i think it is true that the federal government is not enforcing the statute. jenna: not a legal point? >> that is where the supreme court will get involved because in order for arizona to enforce its own version of an immigration law, it will be taking some jurisdiction away from, stepping in the place of the federal government. how do we know that? because the supreme court has consistently ruled that regulation of immigration is part of america's foreign policy. and that's why the states delegated this authority away to the federal g

this was a program done with the mexican government. it was done in comparatively plain sight and it was closed before eric holder and the obama administration came to office. so i think it is separate. certainly we want to look at it. we want to look at misconduct done by this government that affects the american people because that's what we're charge to do but in the case of "fast and furious" we still have thousands of weapons in place. eric holder just a week ago tried to say that the connection between brian terry's death and the two weapons from "fast and furious" found at the scene was tenuous. he wouldn't even admit that in fact fast and furious led directly to the death of brian terry. he seemed to want to obfuscate that. that shows we really need to get some sort of change at the department of justice and in the ag's office or we're not going to get the kind of change american people can believe in. jenna: you're still calling for the resignation of eric holder? >> never called for the resignation. unlike the president i don'
